%28y-2%29%2F4=7y-2-6%28y%2B1%29 Start with the given equation


y-2=28y-8-24%28y%2B1%29 Multiply EVERY term (excluding the terms in the parenthesis) by the LCD 4 to clear out the fraction.


y-2=28y-8-24y-24 Distribute.


y-2=4y-32 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=4y-32%2B2 Add 2 to both sides.


y-4y=-32%2B2 Subtract 4y from both sides.


-3y=-32%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3y=-30 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-30%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate y.


y=10 Reduce.
